Farewell to Maxine as she heads Down Under

Maxine and coaches at a farewell dinner where Maxine officially handed over to Ceri

Our head coach for the last 13 years, Maxine Baker, flies off to start a new life with husband Arron and children Kira and Mollie in Perth, Western Australia, on 12 September.

Maxine took over from her father, Stan Buckley, in November 2002 and carried on producing Welsh squad members and gymnasts to international level with both team and individual wins against the French and Dutch.

Pictured are Maxine and coaches at a farewell dinner where Maxine officially handed over to Ceri Sass.

We all wish Maxine every success in Australia and can’t thank her enough for the 15 years she coached and led the club: Good luck Maxine you will be greatly missed.

Thanks also go to Ceri for caretaking the position and we wish her good luck as our head coach.

Danielle’s last day

Special thanks to Danielle, one of our brilliant coaches, as she departs to take up a new job.

She has promised to pop back from time to time and no doubt we’ll see her at competitions and grades.

Thanks Danielle from all the girls, coaches and parents.

We’ll miss you.
